In a world of relentless change and accelerating uncertainty, organizations must continuously adapt and evolve to compete in environments they never anticipated. This requires upfront design for adaptability, and closer business alignment of software systems and team structures. To succeed, organizations must integrate advanced techniques from business strategy, software architecture, and team organization. Now, independent technology consultant Susanne Kaiser introduces a powerful unified toolset you can use to design, build, and evolve adaptive software systems and teams that are optimized for ever-faster rates of change.Kaiser shows how to combine Wardley Maps, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Team Topologies to understand your problem domain more clearly, focus on your crucial core subdomain, and reflect the dynamics of your business landscape. Using these tools, you'll learn how to design evolvable services within an adaptive system, which is in turn owned by a team organization that optimizes for fast flow.Kaiser goes beyond Domain Driven Design's popular patterns to reveal how DDDenables strategic design for long-term business success. Her accessible explanations and practical examples show how to combine DDD with intuitive Wardley Maps and powerful Team Topologies to improve success across the full lifecycle: strategy, design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evolution. As she demystifies and demonstrates these tools, Kaiser answers the most important questions faced by project participantsfrom CxOs to architects to software developers.
